I know when it comes to many cities there are long permit processes and also there are specific air laws that go into each city.I would love to hear a story that goes over an experience pertaining to developing/rehabbing a property in the DC area. 

I know that @Mat O'Grady already spoke about CTREIA and I agree.  

Is this how it works, wanted to know from people who have their star’s managed my property management company?

I was clueless and didn’t know what I was doing, but was determined to make 10k/month profit off RE.

@Jaycee Greene,  Thanks for letting me know.  

Some people, you know what I mean!

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I am trying to hire a licensed REA for my LLC to perform occasional open houses and move-in/move-out inspections since I am out-of state from my rental property.I have the REA identified, now I just need to know the steps to creating a contract for them and me to sign.

All you can do is work with what you know now and what is a reasonable expectation for the future.
